Penn State’s 7-footer has already become a two-way frontcourt anchor
In the 2025-26 season, Ivan Juric gave Penn State real interior juice as a true freshman, averaging 10.2 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting a team-best 57.7% from the field across 30 games and 26 starts. He’s a classic “why watch the tape?” guy: huge at 7-foot-0 and 250 pounds, but skilled enough to score efficiently, rebound, and even stretch the floor a bit. The buzz is that he’s already a go-to big and a tough assignment defensively—exactly the kind of young frontcourt piece a program can build around.
